    Firefly never disappoints! From the moment you enter, you receive a warm and joyful welcome. The staff is by far some of the best around. The food is outstanding, the portions fair, and the prices reasonable. The drinks are creative, and there are good wine options by the glass. It is a lively and upbeat atmosphere with a great vibe.

    The place was packed when I arrived at 11:50 am for my noon reservation. In spite of there being 3 people plus at the it took 20 minutes to get seated. Thankfully the wait staff who served us were friendly, helpful and available to us when we needed her to be. I liked the aperol spritz with tangerine juice. That was a tasty mixture. The drinks and food were very good. The table was a little awkward as the chair on the aisle was pretty cramped and in the traffic flow. I pulled the table up as close to me as I could so that my dining companion could pull her chair in out of the aisle as much as possible as there were staff coming by with dishwasher racks full of clean dishes, etc. We were out of there in time to get to a play a few streets over thankfully as its as so cold yesterday.

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! Took my mother and sister there before seeing A Christmas Carol at the Palace Theatre Saturday night. We had reservations and got there a few minutes early and were seated immediately by a very welcoming host. Our waitress was a lovely young woman named Eliza. She was extremely warm and friendly. The place was packed but she never seemed overwhelmed and didn’t rush us thru our meal. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The cozy holiday atmosphere was just perfect! I cannot say one negative thing about our experience. Looking forward to going back soon!!!
